Wow. It was pretty crap reporting but I'd be thinking along the lines of final written warnings for the editor of the specific show rather than the people at the very top quitting. Unless those two were encouraging this kind of misleading crap.

Agreed.

I doubt that will happen, though. That he stays and sorts it out, first.

Ridiculous editing of the Trump speech. It’s not as if they could just have broadcast unedited footage and let him look ridiculous and dangerous all on his own.

There's at least a thousand of them at the BBC.

Oh, cuts.

It means if you take your hand out of the bucket it's not long before there's no sign it was ever there. IE something that is quickly forgotten.
